   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-based_cytology

   Brushes used to collect samples for cytology. Liquid-based cytology is a method of preparing samples for examination in cytopathology.The sample is collected, normally by a small brush, in the same way as for a conventional smear test, but rather than the smear being transferred directly to a microscope slide, the sample is deposited into a small bottle of preservative liquid.

8. Cytocentrifuge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytocentrifuge

   The cytocentrifugation process can cause cells to appear distorted. Cells located at the centre of the smear may look compressed compared to cells at the periphery. Cell nuclei may develop artifactual clefts, lobes, or holes, [4] and the cytoplasm may appear vacuolated or develop irregular projections. Cytoplasmic granules may be pushed to the ...
